##TheStrategyLab primary purpose is for you to use the free chat room as a trade journal of your trades via you posting WRB Analysis of the price action you see on your monitors, posting price action analysis, ask real-time questions about WRB Analysis or posting your real-time trades (simulator or real money) in a timestamp environment after you've received confirmation from your broker trade execution platform. Simply, the free chat room is a trade journal of your trading day (thoughts and trades).

The free chat room is located on the Freenode IRC network along with being a serious professional trading chat room for traders that want to talk about their use of WRB Analysis (e.g. Contracting Volatility, WRBs, WRB Hidden GAPs, WRB Zones, WRB/WRB Hidden GAP profit targets, Key Market Events, Reaction Highs/Lows, Expanding Volatility, R area of WRB Zone, S area of WRB Zone, midpoint of WRB Zone and speed of the price action) merged with their trade methods to improve the performance of their trade methods regardless if they're a position trader, swing trader, day trader, trend trader or range trader.

Therefore, you're welcome to use the free chat room to ask questions about WRB Analysis, post your real-time price action analysis involving WRB Analysis merged with your own trade methods, post real-time trades via WRB Analysis or talk about general market issues impacting today's price action involving stocks, futures, exchange traded funds or forex currencies as part of your trade journal. In addition, we welcome all traders (beginners, experience, part-time, full-time) that are merging WRB Analysis with their trade methods or using WRB Analysis to help develop a better understanding of the price action (market context) they're trading.

This is not a signal calling (trade alerts) room. Our free chat room has never been advertised as a trade alerts room and we ban traders for attempting to use our chat room as a signal calling trade alerts room for the purpose to mimic/copy/piggyback trades posted by any of our members.

With that said, thanks for reviewing (reading) the below timestamped trades, price action analysis or market commentaries and we highly recommend you make reading of the chat logs (we use it to provide critical missing info for our broker statements) a part of your trading routine because you will sometimes find useful market context information that's critical to understanding price action trading. To qualify for access to ##TheStrategyLab free chat room that's located on the Freenode IRC network...please follow the instructions at the TSL Support Forum @ http://www.thestrategylab.com/tsl/forum/viewforum.php?f=164

[09:47:52] <wrbtrader> I will guess there will be about 10 messages by traders today at various popular forums asking WHY was the markets down so big at the Open
[09:48:03] <wrbtrader> Answer - Corona-Virus
[09:48:20] <Trendtrader> all
[09:49:04] <wrbtrader> NIFTY futures was down big...Italy Futures was down big and Eurex futures down big overnight
[09:49:51] <wrbtrader> This is a global hit especially with the news out of Italy closing several cities and Iran closing several cities after news of Coronavirus deaths on those countries

[09:59:25] <wrbtrader> Covered all Emini ES Short @ 3253.00 --> + 3
[09:59:55] <wrbtrader> trail stop picked pocketed...not a WRB pt1
[10:00:57] <wrbtrader> Financial networds just "admitted" they are "doing their best" NOT to scare people about the big drop. They were told to remain calm.
[10:01:44] <wrbtrader> Looks like that's the support being put in to me
[10:02:07] <wrbtrader> Remain Calm...don't put in merit in the sell-off
[10:02:27] <wrbtrader> crazy manipulation
[10:02:57] <wrbtrader> New cases in Iran, South Korea and Italy...more deaths over night
[10:03:17] <wrbtrader> Shorts Emini ES @ 3256.00 -> large size
[10:03:24] <werner1> Shorts Emini NQ @ 9185.00
[10:03:25] <wrbtrader> 10 contracts re-entry
[10:03:41] <werner1> a bit early ..brr
[10:04:09] <wrbtrader> These Shorts are high risk because of the financial networkds effort to keep the CALM about the negativity and big price drop
[10:05:13] <werner1> Covered all Emini NQ Short @ 9170.00 --> + 15
[10:05:23] <werner1> @wrb pt1
[10:05:46] <wrbtrader> Biggest 2 Day Drop since 2018
[10:06:36] <werner1> pff side line here...coffee

[10:09:11] <wrbtrader> Shorts Emini ES @ 3253.50 -> large size
[10:09:15] <wrbtrader> 10 contracts re-entry
[10:10:29] <wrbtrader> retesting that Support area again
[10:10:41] <wrbtrader> Covered all Emini ES Short @ 3253.25 --> + 0.25
[10:10:46] <wrbtrader> geeeesh
[10:11:01] <wrbtrader> They won't let this fall after the Opening bell
[10:13:30] <wrbtrader> This is when I wish I knew more about Options trading when the markets are out of whack
[10:14:07] <wrbtrader> Long Emini ES @ 3258.00 -> large size
[10:14:14] <wrbtrader> 10 contracts
[10:15:35] <wrbtrader> Exited all Emini ES Long @ 3258.00 --> 0
[10:16:56] <Tigerman_____> zig zag price action after 9:45am
[10:17:20] <Tigerman_____> infact I just exploited the small action right before the open
[10:17:42] <Tigerman_____> in contrast a nightmare my test trades in this messy action
[10:17:43] <wrbtrader> Shorts Emini ES @ 3256.25 -> large size
[10:17:47] <wrbtrader> 10 contracts re-entry
[10:17:56] <Tigerman_____> very fast so i mess with my stop plus platform too slow
[10:19:22] <wrbtrader> I've been aggressive today on the Shorts...obviously.
[10:19:44] <wrbtrader> I'm just trying to stick with the Market Context of the trading day
[10:20:12] <wrbtrader> Yet, this FAKE calm by the financial networks is causing a lot of problems for Shorts out of the gate
[10:20:20] <werner1> nice short
[10:21:32] <wrbtrader> Finally, Emini futures now below the Support area put in by the financial networks
[10:21:57] <wrbtrader> All that "REMAIN CALM" talk was bogus
[10:22:25] <wrbtrader> I'm the type that when there's a fire in a movie theatre...RUN
[10:24:21] <wrbtrader> WHO said they're encourage by the decreasing spread in China but very worried about the increasing cases in Iran, Italy and South Korea
[10:25:13] <wrbtrader> Crazy...still no WRB pt1 on this Short
[10:25:25] <wrbtrader> That's too much calm in the market
[10:26:25] <Tigerman_____> wrbtrader.. the real question is : why not increasing cases in US canada or germany ??
[10:26:30] <Tigerman_____> something odd
[10:26:46] <Tigerman_____> or others country ?
[10:27:07] <wrbtrader> Yeah...I was wondering the same thing
[10:27:49] <wrbtrader> Maybe its Pending...next month there will be more spread to other countries
[10:28:13] <wrbtrader> still no WRB pt1
[10:29:41] <werner1> nq wrb pt2 here
[10:30:10] <wrbtrader> Looks like an orchestrated creeper retracement back down without any volatility
[10:30:16] <werner1> but zero position here
[10:30:27] <wrbtrader> Very calm price retracement
[10:32:04] <wrbtrader> WRB pt1 reached
[10:33:53] <wrbtrader> WRB pt2 reached
[10:34:10] <wrbtrader> Covered all Emini ES Short @ 3240.50 --> + 15.75
[10:34:21] <werner1> wow
[10:34:32] <wrbtrader> Exactly
[10:34:39] <werner1> very nice
[10:35:23] <wrbtrader> Unusual price action...unusual profits
[10:35:26] <Tigerman_____> yeah very good wrbtrader
[10:36:19] <wrbtrader> Some idiot will email me tomorrow and say..."If you can make +15 points on every trade...you'll be a millionaire by end of year"
[10:36:46] <Tigerman_____> yep I wanted write that too
[10:36:59] <Tigerman_____> I mean about someone one ask this
[10:37:24] <wrbtrader> Last time I had a trade like that...was many years ago and I held it for several hours
[10:37:56] <wrbtrader> Yet, it is the biggest WRB pt1 ever
[10:38:00] <wrbtrader> I think
[10:38:24] <wrbtrader> Usually a +15 points would be like a WRB pt5 after holding the position for multiple hours
[10:39:22] <wrbtrader> Once that damm broke the Support area...its been a straight down retracement
[10:40:17] <wrbtrader> Two trades before that Short...I almost gave up and called it quits for the day
[10:40:54] <wrbtrader> I was getting by the CALMNESS presented by the Financial Networks about the big decline prior to the Opening Bell
[10:42:01] <wrbtrader> The bounce upwards at the Open was clearly manipulation and orchestrated to give an illusion that -800 points was no big deal
[10:52:19] <wrbtrader> Now they're talking about a possible RATE CUT by June
[10:52:39] <wrbtrader> Due to the economic impact from the Corona-Virus
[11:03:34] <wrbtrader> Shorts Emini ES @ 3245.00 -> small size
[11:03:39] <wrbtrader> 3 contracts
[11:04:06] <wrbtrader> Should have been Short @ 3246.00
[11:04:15] <wrbtrader> WRB pt1 reached
[11:04:36] <wrbtrader> Covered all Emini ES Short @ 3241.75 --> + 3.25
[11:04:43] <werner1> yeah i was late too so no pos here
[11:05:47] <wrbtrader> Usually on days like today...I would put the foot on the gas to try to get as much profits as possible
[11:06:45] <werner1> yeah one of those days
[11:06:56] <wrbtrader> Yet, since my illness the fall of 2016...I've learn to slow it down. Actually, my health has impacted my trading where I have no choice...must slow it down
[11:07:14] <wrbtrader> On that note...I'm calling it quits right here
[11:07:20] <wrbtrader> I'm done for the trading day
[11:07:44] <Tigerman_____> c ya wrbtrader I ll call quit soon too
[11:07:46] <wrbtrader> Take care, be care with the price action today and the next few trading days...
[11:08:12] <wrbtrader> You don't want to get caught off guard by some sort'uv "surprise rate cut" during the trading day.
[11:08:14] <werner1> thnx ...cya
[11:08:27] <wrbtrader> Very similar to the Clinton presidency

[11:52:17] <Tigerman_____> simply after the initial open I prefered not use big size ..big x me to not ruib my profit
